Thank you for the info about the forest duff. Since I do overhead water the beds during the summer, I am sure it did add something to the beds. As soon as I saw it looking dry, I went out and gathered other mulch materials to cover it as I need to be able to keep the beds moist during the growing season so that I am not constantly having to water.
I've experimented with all kinds of mulch materials that I have gleaned over the years. Some materials work better than others
I am taking a lunch break and will read the links tonight.
I am learning a lot here and getting a lot of confirmation that what I have been doing is on the right tract. As a very novice gardener, I have had a lot to learn. I still do. Thank you for sharing what you have experienced and learned in your gardening lives.
Smiles,
Lyn
